floor dilemna?

[DEN]

I am tiling a hallway floor with 60x60 ceramic tiles (athens mocha) its for a friend and they have supplied the slc,adhesive and grout which they got from jamies tiles,the slc is going over an asphalt floor which will be primed 1st with a standard sbr,will the standard slc be usable over asphalt? i also have a single part flexi addy( standard bag) and have sovereign flexi grout to finish, i have said that a latex slc would be better but they dont want to pay the extra,is it worth taking the risk to use standard slc onto asphalt? any help appreciated..

All depends how flat it is but if you feel as the fixer it needs a slc then push for it

[doug boardley]

as whitebeam from me.Fixers shouldn't bow to customers stinginess

[burncross]

ashphalt can expand/contract with temperture, so i would definatly use latex/flexible SLC

[DEN]

The slc is sovereign slc which was recommended by the tile place and is flexible so should this be ok to use?

[Leatherface]

Would personally opt for a good quality flexible SLC

[whitebeam]

I've never used the sovereign slc but have used their porcelflex and never had any problems with it. Sovereign are a major company in many aspects of the building industry but love mapei eco for self leveling

[DEN]

Yes and so would i leatherface have told the person in question this and they wont budge tight gits,and was wondering how long the tiles will last doing it this way?

[doug boardley]

is mapei fibreplan a flexi one?

[wayne]

yes it is. i use it on ufh jobs. good quality gear and nice to work with too

[doug boardley]

thanks Wayne, struggle to get Mapei in Kendal, gonna have to put pressure on stockists to start with it methinks
